name my mantid

[chrisboy101]

i just got a new african mantid nymph but i cant decide what to name it ,any suggestions :?:

 

[colddigger]

Giant African Mantis

 

[colddigger]

Gam (i pronounce that as a jam)

Give it a zip number. That's what I do, like 35497 :wink:

Don't get attached :wink: :wink:

 

[chrisboy101]

a zip number lol

 

[chrisboy101]

and why not get attached

 

[Asa]

How many do you have? I assume only one. Therefore, don't take this the wrong way for your caring abilities, but,

It'll probably die...

 

[chrisboy101]

why???

 

[TranCE_Productions_Inc]

Give it an ID #: ie. ID#: 007

That way you can assign it a BAR CODE & input database profile in your computer for it as well. Digitize your mantis!

 

[Asa]

why???

They just do.

 

[OGIGA]

Of course they'll die. I never heard of a mantis that will never die. Anyway, you can name it Zip if you don't like numbers that much.

i think "burt" and "giant african mantis" are both good names for a mantis

 

[Kriss]

I keep reading post telling other forum users that there mantids will probably die.

Surely this is not the right way to promote the hobby.

I would go with "Burt" 8)

Sadly the truth though

This isn't always the case. They just say it would probably die considering you have tons and feeding them by loads. If you have just a few mantids and care for them properly there is no reason they should die. If they're L1 they could considering they are hatchlings and unstable but after L2 if you care for them correctly they should grow just fine.

How about Bob. That way if it gets confused and spells his name backwards, he does not look dumb

 

[chrisboy101]

my brother told me to call it bob, he's obsessed with that name! lol

 

[skinzfan72]

Mine are 2 female religiosa Gumdrop & Lollipop :lol: long story yes it will not be a good day when they go but I am new and only have the 2 not a room full. YET

 

[john_jb1]
